A SUSPECT was chased through gardens by police during a dramatic pursuit that saw the force helicopter scrambled and sniffer dogs called.
Witnesses reported a man running through gardens and climbing over fences in Clock Face on Tuesday evening before finally being tracked down to flats at Sutton Leach.
A police spokesman confirmed there had been a pursuit and that a wanted man had been "garden hopping" as officers attempted to catch him.
A 30-year-old man from Moss Bank was later arrested on suspicion of making threats to kill and was being questioned by police as the Star went to press on Wednesday.
